This client had implemented a design from another vendor and the network was not working. They needed to understand exactly where the weak areas and dead spots were located so remediation could be performed.

This report provided the client with a detailed understanding of the deficiencies in the current system and specific installation plans for correcting the problems.

Because of the critical requirements for wireless network performance in health care, hospital Wi-Fi systems are examples of situations where detailed post-installation network verification is required.
The network being verified was not installed by Connect802 and our analysis work provided remediation plans for weak coverage areas identified at the hospital.

A world-known manufacturer of very high-end goods needed a wireless network to support hand-held inventory scanners, wireless VoIP phones, and notebook computers used on their production floor. The site had laser etching machines, many electric saws and lathes, and other RF noise sources.

The preliminary RF CAD model was used as the basis for on-site RF spectrum analysis and signal propagation testing to ensure the accuracy of the design. It would have been impossible for a technician to "walk around" to create this design since most access points were mounted 45-feet in the air over the open production and warehouse floor.

A
large apartment community was
planning on implementing video
signage in the building lobbies
but they did not have data
connectivity between the numerous
high-rise buildings. Instead
of trenching fiber across the
property they decided to use
a rooftop-to-rooftop wireless
mesh network system.

Following the creation of a predictive CAD design and an on-site RF spectrum analysis and calibration survey with real-time throughput testing, Connect802 developed this set of installation plans to prepare for the truck roll. The client needed to understand the specifics of the proposed installation and the installation technicians needed exact plans to properly schedule resources and equipment.

A community needed a video surveillance system for law enforcement use. They decided to develop a design that would both support the immediate requirement for surveillance cameras as well as provide growth potential for outdoor, community Wi-Fi access.

Connect802
performed 3-dimensional
predictive RF CAD modeling
and dispatched an an engineer
to perform an on-site assessment.
The Statement of Work for this
project was completely customized
to meet the requirements of
a Request for Proposal. As
a result, the Connect802 service
description is simply "Expanded
Engineering Enhancements".

A client came to Connect802 complaining that the wireless network they had installed only a few months before was not providing complete coverage. The original reseller that installed the network had walked around and made some signal strength measurements and met the requirements of the Statement of Work. Unfortunately, it's impossible to simply walk around and hope to verify proper connectivity in 100% of a building's floor area.

Connect802 used the installation plans for the existing network as a basis for creating a predictive RF CAD model of the complete wireless LAN system. It became clear where the problem areas were. A detailed comparison was performed between the existing Wi-Fi design and a Best Practices design proposed by Connect802 to remediate the problem. It was discovered that the placement of existing twenty one access points caused unacceptable levels of co-channel interference as well as allowing RF shadows to create weak coverage areas. The remediate design required only 18 access points which, when placed in the right locations, completely corrected the problem.

Connect802 was contracted to provide warehouse and manufacturing facility designs for the nation's largest pet care and pet food manufacturing company. Our engineers were on-site at the first facility to perform a detailed RF study of the production machinery, robotic fork lifts, and to evaluate inventory stacking patterns.

The initial Connect EZ Predictive RF CAD Design for the client included Expanded Engineering Enhancements to detail the calibration and baseline measurements. Subsequent reports were provided in Connect802's brief report version format called an "Installation Version Report". What the client needed was to understand the overall Wi-Fi coverage and then pull cables and mount equipment. The Installation Version format provided a cost savings over the long term project during which Connect802 developed designs for numerous large facilities across the United States.
